Un Napperon Finement Ouvrage

I have a clipping, a photo and chart of this pattern in French. The name just means "a finely made doily." It looks an awful lot like Waldglöckchen, and like other Herbert Niebling designs with the lily of the valley motif. But in the French article, the design is not attributed to any designer. My guess is it is a knock-off of Waldglöckchen, which you can see in the Ravelry database.

Cast on 8 stitches, join in a round and repeat the pattern 8 times in each round. Knit the even-numbered rounds. When you finish the last round of the chart, decrease as follows with a crochet hook: (decrease 4 stitiches then chain 12) 3 times, (decrease 5 stitches then chain 12) 2 times, decrease 6 stitches then chain 12, decrease 5 stitches, then chain 12, (decrease 4 stitches then chain 12) 4 times, decrease 9 stitches then chain 12. Repeat until the entire border is complete. Connect the last ch12 to the first decrease. Written instructions here.

Remember:

  • Feel free to download and use the charts, print copies for your own use. However, you may not print them out and share them with others. Send folks to my website so they can download for themselves.
  • I don't own the original pattern, but I do own my recharted version. So, please don't copy my charts and claim them as your own or publish them under your name. If you want to have your own charts, then find the original patterns and rechart them yourself!
  • Do not sell copies of these charts. If I don't charge for my recharts, you certainly shouldn't charge for my recharts!
